+------------The NHL's Ark Of The Covenant Claimed 

Alexander, the Stanley Cup, Ark
of the Covenant of hockey, resides
at Kiriath Jearim, city of players’
aspirations aloft on hills of ambition,
forested by competion’s desire.
So the Caps have assembled at Mizpah
(Washington, DC), drawing, pouring out
passion before fans nightly as holy
acts of dedication to God Of Victory;
warrior peoples on ice, of the blood
of Moses, of revolt in Egypt, intent on sovereign
“2017 Cup” reign; Barry Trotz, prophet,
draws plays as rallying cries, Samuel lifting
a suckling lamb as oblation for past losses.
And the rest of NHL teams are Philistines
drawing nigh to attack, unethical brutes
of high sticks, egregious body checks, icing.
But your slapshot is the Lord’s voice to them,
a loud thunder stirring hysteric panic. You and
Holtby on power plays like battalions of might
mauling and maurading goalies. Soon...the
whole league routed, slaughtered (in win/loss
statistics): chased below Beth Kar, borderland
of absolute fear, ineptitude.     #LETSGOCAPS

----------------1 Samuel 7:1-11
So the men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of the Lord. They brought it to Abinadab’s house on the hill and consecrated Eleazar his son to guard the ark of the Lord. The ark remained at Kiriath Jearim a long time—twenty years in all. Then all the people of Israel turned back to the Lord. So Samuel said to all the Israelites, “If you are returning to the Lord with all your hearts, then rid yourselves of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths and commit yourselves to the Lord and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”  So the Israelites put away their Baals and Ashtoreths, and served the Lord only. Then Samuel said, “Assemble all Israel at Mizpah, and I will intercede with the Lord for you.” When they had assembled at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the Lord. On that day they fasted and there they confessed, “We have sinned against the Lord.” Now Samuel was serving as leader of Israel at Mizpah. When the Philistines heard that Israel had assembled at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines came up to attack them. When the Israelites heard of it, they were afraid because of the Philistines. They said to Samuel, “Do not stop crying out to the Lord our God for us, that he may rescue us from the hand of the Philistines.” Then Samuel took a suckling lamb and sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. He cried out to the Lord on Israel’s behalf, and the Lord answered him. While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the Lord thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites.  The men of Israel rushed out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, slaughtering them along the way to a point below Beth Kar.
